amber610 2 Posted June 27, 2014 I was sleeved June 10 also by Dr. Nicholson! How are you feeling? I'm doing great! Easiest surgery I've been through. I went yesterday to my follow-up and I'm down 24 pounds! Got my bandage off from where he took my lapband port out. That's my worst incision. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DonRodolfo 1,416 Posted June 27, 2014 Hello was just sleeved on June 10th. Would like a sleeve buddy to compare notes. How about a whole community of sleevers to compare notes with: http://www.bariatricpal.com/topic/259587-dfw-area-weight-loss-surgery-support-groups-list/ Highly recommended: THINspiration Weight Loss Support Group, every third Saturday of the month (contact KevLev12282012 (Kevin Levin) here to attend or let me know and I'll tell him for you). Check out the rest as well, we have a great WLS community in DFW. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stanhope 9 Posted July 6, 2014 Hello to all My surgery was on Wednesday (July 2nd) I live in the Oak Lawn area - I will check out the support group listings on this thread - As a social worker, I think mutual support is as essential as the surgery for long term success and think the doctors should actually emphasize it more than they do. Even though I feel ok physically (for now) I think it is wise for anyone that can get to get to a support group - including myself I'm glad to know there are groups in Dallas bc my doctor's/program's support group is in Ft Worth and I can't drive there from work to get there in time.

I didn't think I'd enjoy meetings, but I do. I go to Baylor's meeting in Grapevine and love it. I learn so much from the people who have already been through all of this.

Dallas_P 34 Posted July 14, 2014 I'm in the metroplex as well. Sleeved on June 16th. All is going well. Dr Kim did mine in June 10th I started with Dr. Kim and switched to Dr. Nicholson. The only reason I switched was because the hospital did the surgery at (Texas General) was not in my network with Cigna. Dr. Kim is a great Dr. and a good guy. I enjoyed meeting him. So what did you think of Texas General? I know it's a relatively new hospital that opened up after a long hiatus. My suregery is July 31st at Baylor Regional Medical Center in Plano. I've been working on this since January 6th. Glad to finally see it through. Dallas Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I paid for my surgery out of pocket so the savings really helped. I started with Kim April 4th and had the procedure 6/10. It all happen really fast! The hospital and the staff were all very very nice. I really feel they provided top of the line care. I had an entire team of staff helping me post op and Dr Kim is one hell of a surgeon. I was asking to go for a walk right after waking up in the recovery room. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
